Prepare Brown Butter: Melt ½ cup of unsalted butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt with chosen spices.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, and 2 large eggs. Add cooled brown butter and mix until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 45 minutes.

Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare Glaze: Mix ½ cup of maple syrup with 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Adjust for thickness if necessary.

Glaze the Bread: Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the bread and allow it to set.
